Maybe a rumor subforum? I don't really mind it being in the news forum proper, long as it's clear it's rumor.

Intel 2019 Roadmap Leaked [Rumor]

That is what I titled the thread...

You're looking at the averaged out numbers up top. I'm talking specifically about "SC Mixed" under "Peak Overclocked Benched" (the 73% one), and then I'm comparing it with the 8700K reduced to base speed. The 21% math is correct, but it's a very specific scenario. It just happens to be the one which I care about right now. My thinking is:
  • I've been running this thing OC'd for a decade now and it's been a major pain in the ass keeping it stable. The exact settings which I have to use keep varying from year to year. For my next processor I very well might just buy something which is fast enough at stock speeds that I can leave it there and not have to worry about it, especially now that "turbo mode" is a thing.
  • A very large number of games out there still do most of their processing on a single thread. There are lots of small tasks in games which have to be performed quickly and then joined back to the main thread. Oftentimes the operational overhead of branching threads off for these tasks and dealing with concurrency issues actually hurts performance in the main thread more than it would for that thread to do the work itself. Factorio, for instance, is a game where the developers are very open about their engine architecture and have come up against this hurdle. I happen to play a lot of that.
Most people here are probably in different shoes.

Lolwut? The score for SC Mixed for a STOCK 8700k is, again, 137 points. The score for a Peak Overclocked SC Mixed 920 is 89.1 points. That difference is ~53.76%. Where are you getting 21%?
